AW: [Doepfer_a100] Extreme newbie question

There is no way to damage anything within the A-100. You even may connect to
outputs or use a filter outputs as a input and so on. You cannot damage
anything (the usefulness of such patches is anothet question).

External voltages should be limited to -12V...+12V to make sure that nothing
can be damaged. Most of the control inputs allow much higher voltages (up to
~ +/-22V) but to be on the safe side you should not exceed -12V...+12V.
Especially the in/outputs of voltage controlled switching devices like
A-150/151/152/155 will be damaged with voltages beyond this range.

I'm very busy because of the preparation for the music fair in Frankfurt
(Musikmesse). I have to apoligize if emails will not be answered as quick as
usual. Detailed questions cannot be answered before the fair.
